Tips for Teens to Improve Sleep (from ⁸⁶)

Make a plan for sleep: set a bedtime for yourself that will allow enough time to sleep – and keep as close to it as you can Get bright light every morning when you wake up to help move your internal clock to an earlier time that can help you fall asleep earlier Avoid light at night before bedtime to keep your internal clock from moving later Avoid ‘arousing’ activities in the evening and give yourself a wind-down time to relax for about 30 min before bedtime Don’t sleep with your cell phone on, nor the computer, TV, or any other technology (including lights) in your bedroom Stick as closely as you can to your sleep schedule on weekends Avoid caffeine after school Do not nap after 4 p.m. Have some fun every day and enjoy your life!
